💰 AMD will buy World Labs, the startup of the “godmother” of neural networks Fei-Fei Li, for $8.2 billion World Labs develops “world models” capable of creating 3D environments and simulations for robot training. The startup recently introduced an Atlas model for generating controllable 3D scenes. Following the transaction, Fei-Fei Li will become AMD's chief scientific officer and report directly to Lisa Su. AMD expects to use World Labs technologies to develop its own AI products. The deal will be fully paid for in shares and is planned to be closed by the end of 2026. Source
